«Do Not Try or Dare, Everything Is Under My Control» - Armen Darbinyan
The rector of the Armenian-Russian University, Armen Darbinyan, wrote on his Facebook page:
"My motivations for addressing the NSS.
In light of the public's concern regarding my physical safety following my post, I find it necessary to provide the following clarification. The unfolding of events may activate anti-Russian forces and provoke them to take certain actions, placing the blame on the Russians. I want those forces to have no illusions regarding my geopolitical orientations; I have been and remain an advocate for the development of genuinely federal and fraternal relations with Russia, prioritizing the real interests of the Armenian people and the state’s priorities.
I regret that both past and present authorities in Armenia—due to either a lack of legitimacy or experience—have been incapable of presenting and defending our real interests in relations with Russia. We will soon fill that gap.
I also noticed the activity of domestic political opportunists and their servile media outlets (for example, Hayeli Club) regarding the situation. I warn them: do not try or dare, everything is under my control."
